Suffixes<span> are not </span>words<span>; however, they help to form longer </span>words<span> and can </span>change<span> or </span>add<span> to a </span>word's meaning<span>. A </span>suffix<span> shows how a </span>word<span> is used in a sentence and what part of speech is formed. Sometimes </span>adding a suffix<span> to a root </span>word changes<span> the </span>word's<span> function.</span>
